Chris Tate f9cbff164f Library mode takes the static-or-refuse npm posture: eligible packages compile, SC4013 refuses the rest
- compileLibrary runs the --npm-static eligibility bar automatically over every bare specifier the graph exposes (opted-in packages' own import and top-level require edges included, iterated to a fixpoint) — an eligible package compiles statically into the library graph, and every fallback the shared frontend records refuses as SC4013 naming the package, the specific failed bar, and the vendor-or-drop remedy (with the profile's SC4013 teaching riding the hint), never SC1010/SC2013's executable-lane teachings.
- requireInitStmt now emits the guarded %init call for a bare require naming another opted-in package: the dep's module body never ran before (NULL-closure crash at first use), a latent npm-static gap on both lanes that the library fixpoint hits immediately; the executable lane never exercised an inter-package require.
- Contract facts exclude statically-compiled npm files (their .d.ts is dropped by construction, so no npm declaration can name a wire-contract type) while their bytes keep joining source_hash/build_id through moduleOrder; the sidecar stays byte-deterministic and a package-file edit flips both identity hashes.
- Builtins keep their story under the npm posture: async_free builtin imports compile alongside npm code, event-loop surfaces still refuse SC4005, no new fence.
- New fixtures npm-static, npm-refuse, and contract-npm vendor fake packages per the tests/fixtures/npm precedent; the K12 suites assert the compile and refusal sides on both emissions and the contract suite covers the identity-hash implications.

scriptc

Compile ordinary TypeScript and JavaScript to small, fast native executables — no Node, no V8, no JavaScript engine in the binary. What compiles behaves byte-for-byte like Node.

$ cat fib.ts
function fib(n: number): number {
  return n < 2 ? n : fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
}
console.log(fib(30));

$ scriptc run fib.ts
832040

$ scriptc build fib.ts -o fib && ./fib
832040

Install

$ npm install -g scriptc

Requires clang on the PATH (Xcode Command Line Tools on macOS, clang package on Linux).

Commands

  • scriptc build <file.ts> — compile to a native executable
  • scriptc run <file.ts> — compile and run
  • scriptc coverage <file.ts> — what compiles statically, and why the rest doesn't

No annotations, no dialect, no special stdlib: the same TypeScript you run on Node, type-checked by the real TypeScript compiler. Programs outside the static tier can opt into --dynamic, which embeds a small JavaScript engine (~620KB) for the parts that can't be static; everything else fails the build with a specific error code and usually a rewrite hint.
